Program details
Overview
Indigenous Studies at the University of Regina is a cross-disciplinary Bachelor of Arts, offered with a standard or honours designation over four years, open to Indigenous and non-Indigenous students alike. The program examines Indigenous societies, cultures, and knowledge systems across Saskatchewan, Canada, and North America, and considers Indigenous experience in a broader global context, integrating Elder teachings alongside academic scholarship. Coursework addresses Indigenous political systems, law, religion, philosophy, and urbanization, developing critical thinking, communication, and research skills through a blend of traditional knowledge and conventional academic study. Like other arts programs at the university, it is delivered jointly through the University of Regina and its federated colleges, Campion College, First Nations University of Canada, and Luther College, which broadens the instructors and perspectives students can draw on. The program suits students who want a grounded understanding of Indigenous history, governance, and contemporary life, whether for personal interest, community work, or a career connected to Indigenous issues. Graduates pursue roles in public administration, community development, government service, human rights advocacy, historical research, policy advocacy, and politics, applying the program's combination of Indigenous knowledge and academic training to work with and for Indigenous communities.

Admission Requirements: The Indigenous Studies program page sets out no admission requirements of its own beyond directing applicants to select their student type and consult the Faculty of Arts application guide. Under the University of Regina's general high-school assessment, applicants are judged on a four-course average — English or Français Language Arts, a higher-level math or calculus course, and two further approved math, science, social-science or language courses — with early conditional admission available to Grade 12 students on their Grade 11 and completed Grade 12 marks; for Fall 2027 entry the Faculty of Arts sets that average at 70%. International undergraduate applicants pay a $100 CAD application fee and, unless exempt, must show English proficiency: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT overall 83 with no section below 20 (tests before 21 January 2026; overall 4.5 on the revised scale afterwards), PTE Academic 59, CAEL 60, or Duolingo English Test 120 overall with a Literacy score of 105.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
